Uday Hussein

Uday Hussein (18 June 1964-22 July 2003) was the commander of the Fedayeen Saddam from 1995 to 1996, preceding Qusay Hussein. The older son of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, Uday was known for his insanity, as he tortured the national football and Olympic teams of the country, was responsible for rape and murder, and was even sentenced to death by his father. Uday was surpassed as heir to Iraq by Qusay, but on 22 July 2003 the two brothers were killed in a firefight with the United States in Mosul.

Biography
Uday Hussein was born on 18 June 1964 in Tikrit, Iraq to Saddam Hussein and Sajida Talfah. He gained good grades in school and graduated from Baghdad University summa cum laude, but his professors admitted that he was made valedictorian only because his father was the dictator of Ba'athist Iraq. In 1988, he had a falling-out with his father after murdering his valet Kamel Hana Gegeo on the orders of his mother, as the man would be a possible successor to Saddam due to his loyalty as well as having introduced Saddam to another wife, which would shame Sajida. He was imprisoned for three months before being released, and he was kicked out of exile in Switzerland due to getting involved in fights. When he returned to Iraq, he was made the leader of the Olympic Committee there, and he tortured athletes who failed to win in games. By 2000, his younger brother Qusay Hussein had replaced him as Saddam's heir.

However, the two brothers died side-by-side on 22 July 2003 when the US 101st Airborne Division closed in on their safehouse in Mosul during the start of the Iraq War. When his Lamborghini was hotwired, he revealed himself and got into a fight with the paratroopers, with 200 US troops opening fire on the brothers and Qusay's son inside of the house. The three of them were killed after being hit by several bullets and TOW fire, and celebratory gunfire was heard in Baghdad that night.
